Re: cannas/lavender

Definitely! And if you live where you can't leave terra cotta pots out
all winter like Andrea and I can, get those chimney flue liners - they
look just like terra cotta and are much tougher. You can generally find
them at a builder's supply place. If they can stand the temperature
extremes in a chimney - a little nasty weather shouldn't bother them. I
have some of my lavenders in those also!! They're like miniature raised
beds. Love 'em.
